Injuries to peripheral nervestissues that transmit bioelectrical signals from the brain to the rest of the bodyoften result in chronic pain, neurologic disorders, paralysis or disability. Now, researchers have developed a stretchable conductive hydrogel that could someday be used to repair these types of nerves when there’s damage. They report their results in ACS Nano.
